Abstract

To evaluate the effectiveness of interventional therapy for complications of transplanted renal allografts. Between January 2009 and March 2014, 14 patients underwent interventional therapy for complications of renal allografts. Complications included transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS), TRAS combined with pseudoaneurysms, transplant renal venous kinking and ureteral obstruction (UO). Serum creatinine (S.Cr) levels were evaluated before and after procedure. The characteristics and procedure outcomes of these patients with vascular and nonvascular complications were also analyzed. All primary procedures were successfully performed, which included percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for TRAS (n = 4), stenting and coil embolization for TRAS combined with pseudoaneurysms (n = 1), stenting for renal vein kinking (n = 2), and percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) for UO (n = 7) and secondary antegrade stent placement in six UO patients after 1 week of PCN. No major procedure related complications occurred. S.Cr level subsequently improved from 6.0 ± 3.6 to 2.6 ± 2.1 mg/dL (p < 0.001), as well as patients' clinical features within 1 week after procedure. In our study, the onset time of vascular complications was earlier (<6 month...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
